The Michigan Cyber Civilian Corps Act in Effect

The Michigan Cyber Civilian Corps Act,  which creates a program of civilian volunteers with expertise in addressing cybersecurity incidents, became effective January 24.   Under the Program individuals volunteer at the invitation of the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget to provide rapid response assistance to municipal, educational, nonprofit, or business organizations in need of expert assistance during a cybersecurity incident.  On the occurrence of a cybersecurity incident that affects a client, the client may request the Department to deploy one or more Michigan cyber civilian corps volunteers to provide rapid response assistance under the direction of the Department.
